Rishi Sunak is “taking people for fools” with potential further tax cuts, Wes Streeting has said.

The shadow health secretary was asked if Labour would seek to match a 2p national insurance cut expected to be in the Tory manifesto on Tuesday, 11 June.

Mr Streeting said: “We are not able to make that commitment today because the money simply isn’t there and I think Rishi Sunak should level with people that the money simply isn’t there.

“I think he is taking people for fools.”

Labour will announce their manifesto on Thursday.
